I'd say you are exaggerating a fair bit, at least if you are just putting the tactical team and drivers from one of the other teams at McLaren through the year and not also putting the current upgrade packages performance level vs their rivals all the way back too - their car wasn't and probably isn't even now that good, so winning that many would require also being lucky. They should have won some of them for sure, and had the potential to win more but nothing more than potential - no matter who was in the car or on the pit wall its far too competitive at the front to just win that many, even if you did the weekend flawlessly...

Their biggest single issue is more that car is only ever truly fastest in short bursts. 1 stint on 1 compound, they'll often be 3rd of 4th quickest on others. Which leaves too much work/luck with safety cars etc needed to undo the weak stints when they get onto the strong one and too much need to make that count then and there. The pace, whilst right there, is often slightly artificial given they are in full on attack mode chasing down the leader (usually Max) whilst they are often managing their pace. Silverstone is the only recent 1 you can really say they wasted a golden chance by making several messes with the strategy and tyre calls, and even then, was the McLaren REALLY any quicker than the Mercedes outside of that stint around the worst of the rain?

Norris has probably received more flack than deserved for the lack of wins - Canada and Silverstone were pretty much nothing to do with him, the penalty in Austria was sent Verstappen's way, and 4 times out of 5 that contact wouldn't have caused a double puncture. Imola he drove well and had no chance until the end. Spain was a poor start, but the rest of the race was nearly perfect. Looking at the timing graphic, Mclaren's car is consistent, but it's almost certainly not the quickest outright. The amount of people arguing that Piastri is a better driver than Norris is ridiculous too. Justifying it based on personality completely ignores the clear qualifying and race pace deficit that Piastri (currently) has.

Especially with max doing a stellar job carrying redbull by himself and mercs stealing points off mclaren. Not just that, but the way their team is run shows how they aren’t currently capable of fighting at the front whilst redbull and mercedes have been doing that for years. Their strategy calls need to be improved to a level that the other top teams are threatened, because right now they have the best car but a midfield mindset. Lando could have three more wins off the top of my head had they pitted him either a lap earlier or fit the right tyres.

Winning races in Formula 1 is so much harder than it looks. When you've got the complete package and the car is a cut above the rest then I suppose in some ways the wins are easier but this run that McLaren are on of throwing away wins reminds of Williams in 2014-15. Probably had the chance to win 8-10 races in that period with both Bottas and Massa and they couldn't convert any of them. I remember Rob Smedley saying at the time that they had to learn how to win again (sadly they never did). I think it's the same for McLaren. Let's be real they fluked that Miami victory (although Piastri was potentially on course to win anyway) and they're just learning how to win in Formula 1 again.

Ed, Mark, Gary, I have some fears about these new 2026 regs that I’d like to put to you. May just be me that sees it this way….. So, theoretically if you can drop top-body drag on the straights you can afford to pile top-body downforce on for the corners without the usual penalty on overall lap time. Best of both worlds if you will, but all based on top-body downforce. Monaco wings for the corners, Monza spec for the straights. My fear is that this would mean cars that can follow less well than they do now as the downforce split relies more on top-body downforce for ultimate lap time than they do currently. Plus, the leading car will drop the drag before the chasing car and will be accelerating away sooner. If the chasing car has already lost ground in the corner due to turbulent air it would seem that a serious power boost would be needed to catch up, a lot more than is currently planned. Red shells may be the only workable solution to this!

I’m sure The Race will have an extremely unbiased take in a video about Norris…

Haven't seen the video yet, but the answer is yes. On the other hand, these are the growing pains of coming back to the front (specially against a force of nature like RB with Max) and they just need time to adjust. On the other-other hand, they're McLaren. An institution of the sport, so that time should be minimal.

Inshort it was all strategic problems. But seems like in Hungary they improved a lot

McLaren strategist need to up the game. They are always asking Norris what he wants rather than giving him clear cut instructions. Norris doesn't have experience to make those calls just yet.

Crazy bc if they got these all right (best case compared to current worst case), there would be a legit drivers championship battle rn

Really needed like two possible verdicts so we could draw any conclusions from your analysis

I like how Lando snubbed Lewis on his 7th championship winning saying it's granted given his car, while Max gave nothing but praise. Now we have Lando consistently having the fastest car and now realizing it's not so easy

McLaren 2024 reminds me a lot of Ferrari 2022, they too had a competitive car but many strategic blunders cost them the victory! A great car is only as good as a driver drives it and pit-wall executes it! We've seen that with Lewis and Max but on the other side with Bottas & Perez.

As a Mclaren fan our promise and speed looks awesome but i will admit whilst where not there yet the is a slight fear we could get to the lows of Ferrari 1 or 2yrs ago wth there strategy misshaps if were not carefully. I dont think we will get tht bad but tht is a slight worry. I hope we iron our mistakes on both the team and the drivers part.

McLaren haven’t had a consistent front challenger since 2012. That combined with new management and team members they probably need time to understand how to get the 50/50 calls right.

They happily screw over Piastri in order for Norris to stay ahead. If Zak's golden boy doesn't win, nobody is allowed to win there.
